Diane Keaton was a true Californian. She was a self-described oddball, uniquely stylish, deeply creative, funny, and an acting legend who could steal the screen in comic and dramatic roles alike. She was in a class all her own, an icon.

That stupid MAGA girl, Tomi Lahren, says Bad Bunny isn’t American. 🙄

Bad Bunny, real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is Puerto Rican. He’s 31 yrs old, born in 1994.

Puerto Rico has been a U.S. territory since 1898 & Puerto Ricans have been Americans since 1917.

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

Absolutely correct. #ANTIFA is an invention of right-wing pundits borne out of people
who proclaim themselves as being against fascism. Every American soldier (enlisting before 2000) is #antifa.

More than half of ALL government shut down days in the history of America have come under just one president.

Simply put, the man is a terrible leader.

They wanted the House.
They wanted the Senate.
They wanted the White House.
They got it. All of it.
It's all theirs.
And it's shut down.

They can lie
They can troll
They can "own the libs"

But. They. Cannot. Govern.

This is all you need to hold in mind when you're looking to assign blame.

What’s going on? They feel the noose tightening so they’re trying to position themselves as the resistance from within even though they were complicit right up until last month.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

The great actress Diane Keaton has left us at the age of 79. Too soon to say good-bye to the woman who made us smile at the quirky Annie Hall, and who broke our hearts in Reds. Your charm and talent will be sorely missed.
